About the Painting: St George Slaying the Dragon is a genre painting derived from the legend, St George, a soldier venerated in Christianity who battles and defeats a dragon. The tale recalls a dragon who extorted a village of their worldly possessions, once the villagers had depleted all their livestock, money and trinkets they began to sacrifice humans to the dragon as a tribute once a year. The villagers were content with the arrangement until a princess was chosen as the next offering. St George then rescues the princess and ultimately he slays the dragon, thus liberating the oppressed villages. A moral anecdote of good over evil and a genre work that has been explored by artists since its conception, with iconography throughout European art movements for hundreds of years and still up until this day.
About the Artist: Giuseppe Cesari, called Cavaliere d’Arpino (1568 - 1640) was an Italian Mannerist painter, active mainly in Rome. He had an enormous reputation in the first two decades of the 17th century when he gained some of the most prestigious commissions of the day, most notably the designing of the mosaics for the dome of St Peter’s (1603–12). His work remained largely untouched by the innovations of Caravaggio (who was briefly his assistant) or that of Annibale Carracci.
Cesari was primarily a fresco painter, but he also did numerous cabinet pictures of religious or mythological scenes. Cesari’s alternative name, Cavaliere d’Arpino (Knight of Arpino), refers to the title he was awarded by Pope Clement VIII and to his place of birth, between Rome and Naples.
